Contents: Administering Mashup Center : Mashup Center 2.0
Before you can configure Lotus® Mashups to move from database to file-based persistence, you must prepare a local or network directory that can be accessed in Read/Write mode by the Lotus Mashups server. In the following steps, we have named this new directory C:\mashupsDir. This directory contains the public directory used by Lotus Mashups to store the various catalogs, pages, themes, and more.

About this task

To move from database to file-based persistence, do the following steps:

Procedure

Stop the Lotus Mashups server.

Edit the config.properties file in the Mashup_Center_root\\Config directory as follows: MMRootDirectory=C:/mashupsDir

Save config.properties.

On a command line, change directories to Mashup_Center_root\\Config and then run the following command: config action-switch-mashup-filebased.

Restart the Lotus Mashups server.

In the C:\\mashupsDir directory, confirm that the public folder was created and that Lotus Mashups data is saved in this folder.

What to do next

You should not use mapped drives when using Windows® services. If you configure Lotus Mashups to use a network driver, you should remove the WebSphere® Application Server service using the following command: AppServer\\bin\\WASService -remove ServiceName; Then restart the server from the command line using the following command: Appserver\\bin\\startServer.bat server1. Now Lotus Mashups should be able to access the mapped drive successfully.
